Answer:

c. 0.80

Step-by-step explanation:

If two events A and B are mutually exclusive they cannot occur simultaneously, but they can occur independently and so their individual probabilities can be added.

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0\\P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B)[/tex]

Therefore:  P(A ∪ B) is:

[tex]P(A \cup B) = 0.3+0.5\\P(A \cup B) = 0.8[/tex]

Thus, the answer is c. 080
